MATHS ‘At’ THE standard – What does it mean? Achieving ‘at’ a maths standard means that, in the teacher’s overall judgement, the student knows and is able to do the maths described within that standard independently, most of the time. To be working ‘at’ the standard means the student is working at the level described by the standard in class work and demonstrating achievement at that level on a majority of assessments. ‘At’ does not mean demonstrating success on all tasks related to all expectation statements. Student achievement varies across the different areas of maths. For example, some students are stronger at geometry than number. When a teacher makes a judgment about a student’s progress and achievement relative to the standards, they are making an overall teacher judgment (OTJ) about the quality of a student’s work as a whole. They are making a judgment not only about the discrete knowledge and skills a student has learned, but about what students can do with what they have learned to successfully meet complex demands across a range of real-life problems.
